Hi everyone, I came across this site by accident. I had a sigmoid resection December 3, 2020. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis with a bladder fistula. Four months post op. I have since developed urinary, fissures and a hemorrhoid. The burning pain that I am experiencing is just awful. My urologist said have a glass of wine and live your life. General surgery told me I am healed. Went to my GP she put me on estrogen cream to easy the virginal pain along with anusol for the rector discomfort. Using estrogen about 6 weeks seems to help a little. The anusol has only been one week. After surgery I was told 4-6 weeks and I should be good a new. Well if this is the new me, I would like the old me back. I am an active 68 year old female. This has put me into such a state of depression and anxiety. It really is just wearing me out. I do have regular bowel movements. Try to eat a lot more fiber rich foods. Has anyone experienced what I am going through? If so, any advice?
